Congratulations to Carys Roberts and Rachel Statham who have both been recruited into the Downing Street Policy Unit! We're sad to see them go, but delighted to announce that Harry Quilter-Pinner has been appointed interim executive director. https://lnkd.in/eUGqvpbb

🗳️ | NEW BLOG: Who voted for Labour and what do they want? This new blog from Harry Quilter-Pinner and Steve Akehurst discusses the results of our 20,000 person MRP survey and finds that voters who put Labour in government are more united than many think. This gives Labour a bold mandate to deliver, especially on areas that unite their coalition of voters. https://lnkd.in/eKaA3tec

Our thoughts on the Labour manifesto... First of all, it is encouraging to see so many IPPR ideas in there. Including key proposals on: 👷♀️ Green industrial strategy 🏥 NHS appointments 👶 Childcare 🌍 Devolution But the challenge is enormous! From tackling NHS waiting lists to rebuilding an economy that benefits people across the country while taking us faster and more fairly towards net zero, there is a lot to do. If Labour forms the next government, IPPR stands ready to offer further practical proposals to help deliver the missions the party has set itself, and to overcome the deep policy challenges the country faces.

IPPR will once again be hosting a lively programme of fringe events at four party conferences this autumn; Conservative, Labour, SNP, and the Liberal Democrats.
